187-189 Broad St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 187-189 Broad Street in Oceanview is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Simon Chung. The building has experienced significant compliance issues, most notably in 2021 when multiple violations were documented, including unpermitted construction, electrical work related to illegal grow operations, and various safety concerns such as damaged stairs and missing handrails. These violations led to multiple correction orders that required repairs to stairs, installation of handrails, removal of unauthorized windows, and remediation of electrical systems.

The property underwent substantial renovation work to address these issues, including bathroom and kitchen remodels on the second floor (completed in early 2022), repair of stairs and handrails (completed in late 2021), and electrical system upgrades. More recently, there have been several 311 calls regarding the property, including reports of sewage backup (July 2023) and garbage/debris issues (November 2024). The building's systems have required ongoing maintenance and upgrades, with historical records showing electrical work completed in 2008 for a 200-amp conversion.

All major violations from 2021 were officially abated by April-May 2023, including issues related to plumbing, electrical systems, interior surfaces, and building safety. The most recent permit filed in 2022 sought to convert an illegal unit into a legal ADU unit at the ground floor, though its final status is noted as "Filed" in the records. While the property has undergone significant remediation work to address past violations, the history of unpermitted modifications and system issues suggests a building that has required substantial oversight and correction efforts.
